Swing bands?

[Reece Man]

My friend turned me onto swing music. He gave me a CD by Squirrel Nut Zippers and they're awesome! Anyone else into swing music? If so, what bands can you reccommend to me?

If you want some modern big band stuff, Gordin Goodwin's Big Phat Band is full of unbelievable players, though they have quite a variety of styles. 8)

WTF double post?

Are you talking more Swing Revival ala Cherry Poppin' Daddies or O.G. swing like Count Basie and Glenn Miller? Either way, it's good shnit.

I'm diggin' the swing revival. I've got some Count Basie and like it but I like the new stuff a little better. I think ska is the opposite though, I LOVE old school ska.
